Fujikura reintroducing Vista Pro line of shafts for 2021
When most golfers think premium aftermarket golf shafts they think premium aftermarket prices surpassing $300, $400, and even $500. But with the introduction of the newly redesigned Fujikura Vista Pro line of shafts for 2021, Fujikura is giving golfers and club fitters more opportunities to get maximum performance at a more affordable price in their metal woods, hybrids, and irons.
The all-new Fujikura Vista Pro series was redesigned from scratch using the latest materials and by utilizing data and design principles from high-end Fujikura models like the extremely popular Ventus. The key to the new Vista Pro shafts is they’re flighted based on their weight and flex category to help those at lower speeds increase launch while stronger players get the benefit of extra stability and flight control.
Fujikura Vista Pro history
The Vista Pro series of shafts date back to the early 2000s when they were a very popular aftermarket option—especially the 70-90 grams versions in fairway woods. The Vista Pro wood shafts tag-teamed alongside the original Speeder series as a generally more playable and slightly softer shaft that could be easily tuned to fit golfers and offer both stability and a smooth feel.

The History of Vista Pro from Fujikura President Dave Schnider
“Back in early 1999, Fujikura decided to introduce aftermarket shafts to the U.S. market. We also wanted to sell a premium shaft line that was specifically designed for club fitters to fit all levels of players. We had shafts already designed from Japan such as Speeder 757, SIX, Pro 95 planned as our premium offerings as they used exotic materials (like Triax) but we wanted a fitting line that was more affordable to the end golfer and still gave the club fitter a variety of options. So we designed Vista Pro.”
“The original Vista Pro line was designed based off the Fit On 11 series from Japan, but we designed them with standard materials and did not use the costly exotic materials from Japan. The goal was to design a high-performance shaft line that can be fit to all levels of golfers. It was also the first true fitting shaft line in the U.S. market with weights from 50-90 grams with the same branding and cosmetics. U.S. shafts companies at the time only had offerings of a specific shaft model and/or brand in different weight or profile ranges. Standard weight shafts and ultralight shafts were branded differently and designed for different players.”
“We decided to design a full line of shafts where a player can be fit into one or more weight categories within their woods and irons that have consistent bend profiles no matter the weight and have the same branding and cosmetics. Our factory at the time was located in Vista, California (Vista) and we knew how important PGA Tour players (pro) were at the time, so we wanted to make sure they wanted to try this line. We named it Vista Pro.”
What’s new with the 2021 Vista Pro?

For the 2021 Vista Pro series, the focus of the design was on versatility and playability and the designers at Fujikura achieved this by
- Incorporating stronger materials for the full length of the shafts rather than just in sections to create a smooth, balanced profile. This idea was born from the proven performance of full-length Velocore in Ventus.
- A new multi-material bias core within the layers of the shafts creates improved consistency and the strength of the 40-ton carbon fiber allowed the lighter weight models to be lighter without sacrificing dispersion.

The end result is a full line of easily customizable shafts that helps improve launch and spin while remaining highly consistent at lighter weights, and stable at heavier weights. This also helps golfers by offering high-performance designs at a lower price point.

Tour Edge unveils all-new Exotics mini driver
Tour Edge Golf has today introduced the all-new Exotics mini driver, engineered to deliver a powerful combination of speed, control, and versatility in the long game.
The Exotics Mini combines a titanium face with a stainless-steel body in design to balance ball speed with stability and control, creating a versatile option at the top end of the bag.

At the core of the design is Tour Edge’s proprietary Combo Brazing technology, a high-precision thermal bonding process that seamlessly fuses a titanium cup face to a stainless-steel body into a single, continuous structure. By eliminating energy loss found in traditional multi-piece constructions, Combo Brazing is designed to deliver faster face response, more efficient energy transfer, and a uniquely powerful yet controlled feel.

The multi-material construction also allows mass to be positioned lower and deeper in the head in a bid to increase stability, while the thin titanium face is engineered to maintain ball speed across a wider impact area.

“While the initial goal was to enhance control and versatility in the long game, Combo Brazing ultimately drove measurable gains in ball speed and distance within the mini driver category. In robot testing, we’ve documented higher ball speeds, higher launch, reduced spin, and increased carry and total distance compared to leading models.” – Vice President of R&D Matt Neeley

In addition to distance performance, the Exotics mini emphasizes forgiveness through a heavier stainless-steel body that shifts mass toward the perimeter. This configuration increases MOI relative to traditional all-titanium mini drivers, helping preserve ball speed and directional stability on off-center strikes. Paired with Pyramid Face Technology from the Exotics metalwood line, the design is intended to support consistent speed across the face.

To further enhance MOI, a lightweight carbon fiber crown frees additional mass that is strategically repositioned low and deep in the head in design to improve stability and promote optimal launch with controlled spin.

“We designed the Mini to be about five millimeters shallower than other mini drivers on the market. That change improves playability off the deck. From a clean fairway lie, it can function as a strong 3-wood alternative while still providing control off the tee.” – Tour Edge CEO David Glod
An adjustable hosel system allows for loft and lie tuning to dial in trajectory and shot shape, while a fixed 13-gram rear weight helps stabilize the head through impact to improve dispersion consistency. The Exotics Mini Driver is available in 11.5 and 13.5-degree lofts in right-handed models.

Pricing & Availability
The Exotics Mini Driver is available for pre-order beginning today for $399.99 USD at touredge.com, and will be available for purchase at retail outlets worldwide on May 22, 2026.

Srixon ZXi combo or TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo? – GolfWRXers discuss
In our forums, our members have been pitting a Srixon ZXi combo against a TaylorMade P7CB/770 combo. WRXer ‘edutch22’ is on the hunt for a new set of irons and kicks off the thread saying:
“Looking at picking up a new set of irons and think I’ve narrowed it down to Srixon ZXi combo or Taylormade P7CB/770 combo. I am currently a 5 cap and allbeit I feel irons are my weakness. My miss is a little to the toe side. I am decently steep at 4-5 down. Always thought I am high spin but recently on trackman my 7 was spinning at 5800 roughly.
My question or looking for thoughts on which one would benefit me more from a forgiveness standpoint? Or is there another iron is should be looking at entirely? I only get to play about once or twice a week, if I am not playing a 2-3 day event. Thanks in advance.”
And our members have been sharing their thoughts and suggestions in response.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- manima1: “You just can’t go wrong with Srixon ZXi7.”
- MattM97: “You have to hit them to know, the V-Sole on the Srixon can be make or break for many.”
- dmeeksDC: “P7CB is more forgiving for me than ZXi7 because my main miss is low middle and the P7CB still flies and spins great on that miss. These are both really nice irons but I like the P7CB more than the Zxi7 and the P770 (or P790) more than the Zxi5. The Srixons are larger so if that gives you confidence that is the way to go. I don’t feel like I get any benefit from the V-sole and the P7CBs live up to their high Maltby forgiveness rating so the TaylorMades have been great for me.”

I wish Fujikura would bring back the Vista Tour shafts. The best numbers I ever got on a LM were with the Vista Tour.
